Not necessarily true. At the moment, there are currently more than 140,000 unconfirmed transactions. My last transaction took over 8 hours, and I paid nearly $4 to simply move coins from my hot wallet to an exchange.
Confirmation times will be the downfall of Bitcoin, if a soft fork (at the least) doesn't happen. I personally have made the switch over to LTC, ETH and XMR, simply because of the nearly instant (and much cheaper) transactions. BTC will always be the gold standard, but unfortunately, with more and more people learning about it, the slower that confirmations will become.
