Bitcoin is more like aluminum than gold. In order to transfer value it takes much longer and costs vastly more than any other crypto of comparable monetary function.

EDIT :
BTC av tx fee 3.4 usd
xmr av tx fee 6.5 usd
BTC transfers have been clearing next block for under 10 cents recently. XMR about 75 cents. I don't know who is paying more, but it is free choice for the most part.
