That eternal word do really put me in curiosity.

Seems like your query or question is already been cleared.Its better to lock up this thread.

On topic,once you have the seed or keys,all of the addresses associated with it belongs to you forever.

I'll add some info.

If you want to see the address that you have used, navigate to "Settings" > "Wallets & Addresses" > click the wallet that you have used > click "Manage" > Used addresses "Show"

And that will show you the old address because each wallet address that belongs to your account belongs to you forever (eternal).

I am not exactly sure what you mean with "eternal" but if you created the wallet and have its private keys and seed than you are the owner of that wallet with all its associated addresses. If you are using an online service, you are not the owner of the wallet, since you don't possess its private keys. You are trusting the online service with your money.

If you received bitcoins on that address (since you can see it in the transaction history) and you are able to spend those bitcoins and send them elsewhere, everything is OK.

You can use the same address for all your future transactions but this is not a recommended way of using Bitcoin. For privacy reasons you should not reuse old addresses and instead you should create a new one for every transaction.

Again, the address should be created by YOU, you shouldn't use a "bought" address/wallet or any address that was given to you by another party.

EDIT: Seems many users before me answered while I made my post, I am a slow replier. Cool

thank you for a longpost, which will make this thread a bit more usable, yeah, i didnt buy an account, it was created by me

Yes it is eternal address (🤪) as long as you have your 12 word seeds in you hand.

thanks but on blockchain.info i get no seed, i get only my wallet id(

There are seed. I think you will need to go to the setting page to find the seed. Write them down in a paper and do not expose it to anyone.

thanks, ive found a topic with seed on blockchain info explained https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-move-from-blockchaininfo-to-electrum-2360742

The address you generated from blockchain info stays forever in your account, even if it doesn't appear on the receive button you can still use it. Any Bitcoins sent to your address will always come through.

thank you very much, i would send u merit if i would have some

That's not a problem. Happy to help. See you around.

The address you generated from blockchain info stays forever in your account, even if it doesn't appear on the receive button you can still use it.

Any Bitcoins sent to your previous addresses will still come through. They encourage using a different address after every transaction only because of privacy or anonymity reasons

Yes it is eternal address (🤪) as long as you have your 12 words seed in you hand. Do not lose the 12 words seed. You are good to lose blockchain.com(info) login credential but never lose the 12 words seed.

Using these 12 words seed you can recover the wallet using other wallet software like Electrum in case you lose credentials of Blockchain.com or when they are out of business.
