It's automatically created by the network. You know how the Federal Reserve creates US dollars? Same deal except that with Steem, it's created automatically on a consistent basis and its awarded automatically by the network so unlike with the government, you can't have politicians or lobbyists deciding such things.

Actually this is a not a perfect answer.
It is correct, but probably your friends would like to figure out why STEEM is worth anything. There is so much valuable content in the Internet, but somehow people are not earn money on that. The question is: From where the initial value (measured in dollars) came from in this project.
I like to explain this in this way:
This is easy to understand, that there are some people which pays facebook or google to promote their content, because they know that thanks to that they can earn even more then they spent - promoting content can be used as leverage.
I am not saying that Steem has value because of that, but with that said, it is very easy to explain, how social media platform can make a profit, and that having a share in profitable organization is actually pretty great idea.
So... Steem is worth more and more because not mandatory investments of average users, which belive that is good idea to invest in product which provides a value, which is great content.

Agreed. It's certainly not meant to be a thorough, comprehensive answer. It's just meant to be a general "nutshell" answer to get them started before reading the more extensive material found throughout Steemit (and, of course, the whitepaper itself).

@piedpiper actually could not reply to your comment. YES, it is perfectly acceptable to walk into someone's building and point out something as broken or not working as intended. Sometimes a person may be offended, yes. OTHER times, they will thank you for the feedback. I own a website and sometimes people bring to my attention something that is broken that I was unaware of! So yes, it can be a good thing

But what you call "broken" isn't broken at all. It's just designed differently than you would prefer.

Oh i think you missed out on the first reply on top. But yeah, no arms race, no electricity (lower bills), no exchange doing a houdini, no more loud noises from mining, no time taken up trying to update software for asics or hooking up more power bars....... I agree.
