I mean considering blockchain I think it’s a safe bet there’s a lot more $XB fintechs than you seem to think. Technically X can be 1, mind you
Note that I did not say whether this was a good or bad thing, I just think you’re overthinking billion dollar fintech startup scarcity given a single bitcoin is basically a billion dollars. Those folks are also more likely to identify themselves as fintech during an introduction in my experience, and Stripe undoubtedly plays in the crypto pool, so it fits

Why restrict ourselves to positive integers here? Hell everyone can be an $XB fintech founder!
I have always wanted to ask this: Is zero a positive number? And do we always round up?

Usage varies, there are a few notations for specifying whether the set of natural numbers/positive integers includes zero when it matters.
'Always round up' sounds more like the ceiling function (or ceil•abs) - usually rounding means to the nearest integer, or whatever we're rounding to.
It's certainly non-negative. Enjoy your status.
Exactly, x tends to be a real number, if it were an integer or a natural number you'd use n.
I am the founder if an $ i T startup.

or even restrict to integers?
Then we can all be in the club!
Let's not get us integers into your fight, we're just watching, OK?
We can be in the club with integers. Consider 0 for example.
