It doesn't matter. The difficulty adjustment eliminates that as a factor when more miners join the network.

Everybody said ASICS would "kill bitcoin". They didn't, they just made the network stronger to the point where it's impossible now for banks to compete with their poxy "in house", "blockchain not bitcoin" blockchains. We need ever increasing hashpower, increasing nodecount and increasing marketcap. All positively correlated.
