Thanks for all the responses but no one has pointed me to a solution where bitcoin was back in the old days.
I don't get it, in the first version of Bitcoin, it's already using the same UTXO model.
The only thing that's changed is the amount of transactions that you've been receiving.

I literally send all my funds to ONE SINGLE ADDRESS yet each bitcoin app I have used INSISTS on changing my funds around causing me headaches and endless fees later.
-snip-
I want ONE BITCOIN ADDRESS FOR EVERYTHING ALL FUNDS!
I tried electrum too it does the same thing! I tried googling how to disable it, but mine doesn't have the option or I'm just having a hard time?
Okay, there's  way to do that in Electrum  Wink
You do that by importing a single WIF private key to Electrum by selecting the option "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" when creating a wallet.
Take note of the "info" tooltip above it to indicate the address type.

But take note that receiving everything to that single address nor receiving the change to that same address wont do any difference.
