I'm wondering if the Bitcoin address always changes. I know Bitcoin is a digital currency, but I'm not sure how its address system works. Do I get a new address every time I make a transaction, or does it stay the same? Does Bitcoin address always change?

Every time you receive a transaction involving Bitcoin and Bitcoin-based crypto assets, your address undergoes a change.

This applies to crypto assets like Zcash (ZEC), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

On the other hand, when it comes to other crypto assets, the address remains constant.

For instance, Ethereum, XRP, and Stellar use the same address for all transactions.
