There's been plenty of backlash online lately, but I actually think this is worth discussing. I've been sharing quite a bit about tech stocks recently, and here's the real issue: several ticker symbols create confusion because they're used by both traditional equities and crypto tokens. Take $AMPL and $S as examples—same symbols floating across different markets. When you're researching or trading, this overlap can be problematic. It's one of those friction points in the ecosystem that doesn't get enough attention but definitely affects how people navigate between traditional markets and crypto assets.

Damn, this issue has really been overlooked... Having duplicate symbol names can cause a lot of problems.
