To celebrate National Burrito Day on April 1, Chipotle is running a promotion that may confuse some burrito lovers who think this is an April Fool's joke.

On the one hand, free burritos will be given away. On the other hand, if you don’t know the story of Stephen Thomas, the investor who lost the password to his bitcoin capital, you need to figure it out to understand what’s going on.

On the holiday, Chipotle will be giving away $ 100 in free burritos and $ 000 in Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency you probably know.

Chipotle partnered with Thomas for a Burrito or Bitcoin game based on his loss of the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin password.

Short version: Thomas lost the password to the hard drive on which his bitcoins were stored. The system allows you to try to enter the password ten times. If he gets it wrong ten times, the hard drive—and his money—will be erased. He's had eight such attempts and says he's "accepted" the possibility of permanent loss.

You can try your hand at the game on April 1 from 9 to 18 hours.
