you can't. expect like? placeholder disappears by design.
if want to prefix icon in front of input field, put them in container, give container needed style , put there icon , input-tag. that's way, how bootstrap problem solves.

shortened example:
<div class="input-group">   <div class="input-group-addon">$</div>   <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleinputamount" placeholder="amount"> </div>   of course, need css.
