I have a question about HD wallets: I've heard, that the addresses change, when you receive coins? I'm using Jaxx. So does that mean, when I receive like one transaction worth 10$ to my Bitcoin/Ethereum wallet, then the Bitcoin/Ethereum address changes in my Jaxx interface?

But I will still get the coins, that are sent to the old addresses.

Am I wrong with anything? Huh

It depends on the type of wallet. I think in Electrum you recieve your coins in different addresses each time and you can also export the seed (hash of words), whereas with Bitcoin Core's HD wallet you can't do any of that. I don't know the exact details of why, but that's how it works.
So every time you receive like a Bitcoin transaction into your Exodus wallet, it will generate a new Bitcoin address?
