Where you connect the capacitor only has a significant effect upon power up (assuming the power supply has no significant AC noise on it).
If you connect the capacitor to ground, the capacitor voltage will remain at 0V when circuit power is applied.
If connected to power, then the capacitor voltage will immediately go to the supply voltage when power is applied (since voltage across a capacitor cannot instantly change).
