No, that's not true. The problem isn't there protocol, it's the security argument. Bitcoin works with three people with one computer each, as long as none of those people has access to two more computers. As soon as one of the three can get three if their own computers, the chain's security arguments are broken. PoW doesn't work on compute, it works on scarcity of compute.
