🎸 50 Pack Opening + GIVEAWAY - Honoring Bob Weir (1947-2026) 🎸
A Grateful Farewell
Yesterday, January 10th, 2026, the music world lost a legend. Bob Weir, the iconic rhythm guitarist and founding member of the Grateful Dead, passed away at the age of 77.
For over sixty years, Bob gave us the soundtrack to our lives - from Woodstock to Dead & Company, from the Acid Tests to sold-out stadiums. His rhythm guitar work, his soulful voice, and his unwavering spirit kept the music playing through it all.
Today, I'm opening 50 Rising Star packs in his honor, synced to the timeless sounds of the Grateful Dead that Bob helped create.

Keeping the Music Playing
Bob Weir didn't just play music - he created experiences, built community, and reminded us that the show must go on. In the spirit of the Grateful Dead's philosophy of sharing and community, let's keep the music playing in Rising Star and beyond.
"Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter
The music never stopped, Bobby. And it never will.
Rest in peace, Bob Weir (October 16, 1947 - January 10, 2026)
What a long, strange trip it's been. 🎵

Please note that the HBIT token mining bot has a restriction where the HBIT command can be used only with a maximum of 2 other bot commands (whether for token tipping or otherwise) on the same comment, though your command there worked despite the presence of 5 other commands according to the official post for LUV and HBIT !INDEED. 🤔🤯😅 !WEIRD !HOPE !WINEX

I can say that it's simply a "for-fun" token (which you "mine" by using the command anywhere on Hive everyday UTC). 🤔🤯 Some people would have more fun by looking at the HBIT richlist !INDEED. 😎😏 !WEIRD !HOPE !PIZZA
