Appending coin ticker symbols with "$"

Is this a new trend? Have only seen it recently...$ETH, $STRAT, $BTC, $XRP, for example.
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.
I have seen a few people doing this, I do not like it though :p

I agree, it's redundant. I think it means something when used in the stock market but I can't pinpoint the reason.

They're cashtags?

So why are people using them outside of Twitter? 😧

AFAIK it's only to hot link.

Pretty gimmicky to use it for cryptos.
I use it only on twitter, it easier to find like minded investor.
I use the $ in twitter, I don't think there's anywhere else that use it.
For example i was just looking up GameCredits on Twitter , it was a lot easier to find $GAME, than GAME? You get me?
Well, maybe they think it's PHP variable? XD
Have a cool signature? hit me up and I might use it.
Yep, this is a Twitter thing. No use outside of twitter though.

ETH is a different currency than the Dollar, so I agree that it does look a bit weird when it's not regularly used. Same for BTC, XRP, and STRAT.
Are you providing a service and need a thread design? We can exchange our services. Ask me in DM about my portfolio.

Because people think it's suppose to carry over off twitter.
This has been around for years. It is more of a Twitter thing though.
