Ok watched the rest. Great job being cool, calm and collected Blake! Very solid responses all the way through! Tone is fiercely opinionated so he's extremely tough to debate. He seemed to be set on claiming Steemit to be a ponzi scheme, but you calmly addressed his arguments. Steem is freely traded in markets and has a price based on supply/demand. People aren't forced to do anything. We can't assume people are ignorant. An easy way to address where the value comes is just to say new Steem is rewarded to people just like miners are rewarded new Bitcoin. Blogging is the new mining is a good slogan to use. When someone talks about a premine, there was no premine but early adopters and the creators had a considerable advantage. Next time just ask how much Bitcoin does Satoshi have from early mining and that will at least minimize complaints about 'fairness'... Overall you did a great job. You'll attract open minded people. You probably won't win over Bitcoin maximalists anyways... and Tone's strong opinions will just cater to their desire to affirm their own biases no matter how illogical his arguments are. That's the nature of most debates anyways.
