Ok. I'll admit yours is better advice. I'm just not into hardware wallets for now. (My computer is essentially a large hardware wallet; but that's another story.)
you can't trust your phone or your computer.
I don't trust anything.

lost 16 bitcoin to malware last week posted on reddit. I see these posts more often now. I can appreciate the reasons to run a full node but security of your bitcoin is not one of them until Bitcoin Core supports hardware wallets. Sure you can use Armory cold storage but that is not very convenient.
On what OS was his Wallet?

BTC is not made for micropayments in terms of seconds with this idiotic mempoolsize, absoloutely not.
Example: Wanted to pay the pizzas with a beer for my girlfriend and myself at 2109 ó clock, did the payment with max fee on bitpay. After 15min bitpay didn't receive my payment and i had to pay the purchase at my local pizzastore cash. One hour after i did the initial payment, it was still in the mempool.
Gavin,
BTC will not make the adoption with this absurd mempool size limitation, i still prefer XMR Monero, hence there is no kind of mempool and/or blocksize limit --> noted this to my local pizza store
