Doug Rushkoff had a talk where he called out local currency as a thing heβd like to bring back from the medieval.
Exclusive to the community, and only valid for a short period of time, so you canβt hoard it or siphon the wealth to another community.
Edit:
Found a blog post about it: https://archive.rushkoff.com/articles/local-money.html
It doesn't say anything about it being temporary, although he does mention that in his talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRWzOdUiqQE

I recently got into armored combat so, knights. If we're gonna kill each other, let's at least be civilized!
Receiving land for farting good.
Landsknecht fashion.
I guess we could use a little ice age right around now, and it would also be nice to have a Renaissance around the corner.
Someone said inns and taverns, and yes it's a missing piece of housing here - long term hotels with food, bars/restaurants with rooms to rent above.

None of you dumb fuckers has any idea what "medieval" means.
Iβve been to Medieval Times I know exactly what it means. Is say we bring back eating big drumsticks in public.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
JOUSTING!
We can do it with motorcycles this time instead of horses!
OH ALSO
Private Military contractors should begin to dress like crosses between clowns and noble-knights again.
(hours later addendum) Bowing as a form of social greeting. We REALLY missed a beat when we didn't bring this back when COVID made people afraid of getting too close to each other.

A blowtorch and a pair of pliers.
The commons
Bathhouses. The local Quicklee's just doesn't do it.
Sorcery, alchemy, soothsaying, baby. Come one come all I'll cure what ails you. I'll summon portals and turn lead into #gold.
Or maybe the town crier. Hear ye, hear ye, elon musk hast tweeted about his balls.

Everybody needs guillotine.. That says something!
Can we get guilds back?
Some people see guilds as a form of worker union providing job protection but they are also oligopolies for business owners, resulting in higher price for goods and less employment opportunities overall due to the "you got to be a member so you can do business" aspect of it

I would love it if taverns became a thing again, but only if they kept the time period theme up.
