Hello

i heard, that if all funds of a bitcoin-address are spent, the address is “dead”..

Is that really the case?

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Joe

Interesting about changing the addresses, how are the addresses changed?
is it a matter of setting up a completely new wallet?

Maybe what you mean is that, that some wallets prevent you from reusing address; after u sent btc they create new address for you and move rest of your bitcoins (if any left) into that new address (called ‘change’), so new transaction is made (send) from that new address. Old one is not dead, but hidden.
