it is not a must that i should tell everyone i am transacting with that i no longer use a particular address. if i fail to do that and you make the mistake of sending fund to my address that i longer use, i will hold you responsible because you ought to first off make such enquiry before sending such fund especially if it has been long we transacted business together..

for the centralized banking system, you could afford to take such risk because it is possible to recover such money or likely, the money could be reversed but in a decentralized system like bitcoin, the only solution out is that you inform whoever you are transacting with before hand to avoid stories that touches the heart. this is even too basic for every one that has been using the digital space to know that before sending fund to any wallet, the receiver should forward the address to you at that spot you want to send the fund.

we all know that as little as a single number or alphabet missing or used in the wrong place in that address can lead to the fund not getting to the intended sender, this tells that ought most caution is expected to be taken when carrying out any form of crypto related transaction.
