<p>Whilst what you say is true for many online wallets, it is not the case predominantly for desktop (or server) installed wallet software.</p>

<p>In Bitcoin Core, you generate a new receive address, set a label if you like, and forever send BTC to that address.</p>

<p>How to get a non-changeable bitcoin address. I tried to register on few bitcoin wallets websites but on each website btc address is changed after one payment is received and I didn't find the option to create a non-changeable one. I know that for privacy is much better to have a changeable btc address, but I need to create a non-changable btc address </p>
