The Valley has already created a positive feedback loop for attracting high quality VCs and entrepreneurs. Therefore, like those who go to LA to seek Silver Screen fame, SV will be hard to replace as THE place to be for tech startups.
With that said, ironically technology is draining the moat around SV and offering great opportunities to other world-class startup cities (e.g., NYC, Boston, Austin, Raleigh-Durham, etc.). In 50-100 years I expect these cities and a few more to have equal resources ala capital, technology, experienced operators, and top tier entrepreneurs.
IMHO, this is one of the ways the US will get its swagger back ;)
