The reason I don't think it is pertinent to Bitcoin is that there is & always will be an uncertainty around it's future. As certain as it is, Bitcoin dies & is reborn every 10 mins on average. Sometimes longer & sometimes shorter. It's code is resistant to change but will require careful change in the future. It's under constant pressure to change & to ossify at the same time. This is a beautiful little trick of Satoshis and keeps Bitcoin in harmony with the Universal Laws.
