As Bitcoin is a member of the family of Cryptonight, it is also seriously affected by the latest ASIC machines. For details, all can check the following link:

However, for the general practice, we have to choose either following the practice of other members like Monero to create a hard fork to switch a little bit or allowing the ASIC to decimate all our miners at all.

Do we have a consensus now?
