It Started With a Group Chat
In early 2024, a group of 50 reality TV fans who also happened to be deep in crypto had an idea: what if you could bet on who gets the final rose?
Not gambling. Not sports betting. Just a simple prediction market where the collective intelligence of superfans could shine. That group chat became a Discord. The Discord became a DAO. The DAO became RealityPicks.
The Early Days
The first "market" was literally a Google Form shared in a Discord channel with 73 members. "Who goes home on The Bachelor this week?" with a dropdown of names. No tokens. No blockchain. Just vibes and bragging rights.
But something magical happened: the group was right. Week after week. Show after show. The accuracy was uncanny.
Going On-Chain
By mid-2024, the community had grown to 2,000 members and the accuracy rate was consistently above 85%. It was clear that a Google Form wasn't going to cut it anymore.
The team built RealityPicks on Base — fast, cheap, and perfect for the high-frequency nature of reality TV predictions. $PICKS tokens launched as the native prediction currency, and the community exploded.
The Growth Flywheel
Here's what nobody expected: the prediction accuracy improved as the community grew. More perspectives meant better signal. More debate meant sharper reasoning. More data meant clearer patterns.
- By the end of 2024, RealityPicks had:
- 50,000+ community members
- 85%+ average prediction accuracy
- $2M+ in prediction volume
- The most accurate election prediction of any public platform
What Makes This Community Different
It's not just about being right. It's about the culture. RealityPicks members share research, help newcomers, celebrate wins together, and analyze losses. There's no toxicity — just a shared love of reality TV and the thrill of being right.
From 50 degens to 50,000 predictors. This is just the beginning.
