Are all bitcoin wallets already created or not?
Hello. I did the following experiment:
Downloaded Electrum >
created a wallet there >
turned off the Internet >
on the "Receive" tab clicked on the "New address" button >
Received several new wallets >
opened the site https://www.blockchain.com/btc/ on another computer address/ and entered the wallets I created offline there.
And to my regret, a page with this address and a zero balance opened.
1. Tell me, do all possible addresses already exist and https://www.blockchain.com will open them or did Electrum insure itself and open the addresses that I will "generate" offline in advance?
2. And if the addresses are already there, how is the owner of this address determined? Since when do I own it and when do I not.
3. Also, the moment with the item "Expires after" is not clear. When you click on it, a message appears:
Expired requests must be manually removed from your list to release the corresponding Bitcoin addresses.
A bitcoin address never expires, so it will always be part of the wallet.

in the same place about
Ethereum, you get it simply - you randomly generate a private key for it, if you're lucky - you'll generate one that already exists)) and doubly lucky - with money)
1. I would single out the concept of "purse" - for non-technically trained people. In cryptocurrencies, what is usually called a wallet is nothing more than a pair of private key + public key. Any value other than zero and SECG where N is less than for the secp256k1 curve of a 256 bit number.
Simply put, any line in the hex with a length of 64 characters, except for the above exceptions, is already a private key.
