That is actually the first electric passenger tram built by Werner von Siemens in Berlin, in 1879 (or perhaps a rebuilt replica), now at the German Technology Museum in Berlin. There is a photo of it in use.
It has some interesting similarities and contrasts with bitcoin. Like bitcoin, it was a prototype and proof of concept; it did not see much commercial use, being used mostly for fun at trade shows. (The first commercial version, opened by Siemens two years later, looked like this.) Like bitcoin, it was powered by electricity but, unlike bitcoin, it did not waste more electricity than necessary. And it reached a speed of 13 km/h; that is, one (city) block every 4.6 minutes.
