Does anyone have slow BitCoin Transfers XRP is instant

[XRPJoe]

Ok So I bought BitCoin on one exchange it took some time to actually get the BitCoin. Then I transferred the BitCoin to another exchange to buy another Coin. After sone Google searches I found the support saying that the transfer has to be verified with the block chain and that it can take awhile. 

Meanwhile I can transfer XRP back and fourth from wallets to exchange or exchange to exchange and its instant in my account. I'm surprised at how slow this is as I am transferring about $1,000 of BitCoin. 

Does anyone else have this problem? Never transferring BitCoin like this again next time I will just convert to XRP then transfer it.

I suppose these are your first days in crypto, welcome.

Also, I'd guess you should read into things before doing these purchases, as this difference in settlement speed is part of the whole concept , and differences with other cryptos.
