I just downloaded COPAY wallet from the appstore, because my uncle suggested me that wallet.
Can i find bitcoin adress there?
I saw "Wallet ID", but i think that is not what i am looking for, because that code doesn't start with number "1" or "3" like bitcoin adress which must starts with one of that numbers?

I hope you have understood what is a bitcoin address and what it is used for by above replies.
Just want to tell you that if you want to create a bitcoin wallet address with ease, search xapo on playstore or visit xapo.com directly from your browser.
Create an account and copy your very own btc address, paste it in bctk profile of wherever you want to give it.
All incoming btc gets stored into your xapo wallet.

In comparison bitcoin address is like email address, in email its function is to send and accept message to another email address it uses also to notify on what happening in your account, they are almost the same in many aspect, but in bitcoin address it uses to send and receive money to another address it use also in many transaction such as paying bills, buying loads and sending money remittance in to many branches. In Order to get your bitcoin address I prefer to use coin.ph application, because in that application I get my bitcoin address after verifying my account.

Bitcoin Address is an address you use to make a transaction especially when you have a money transaction becauae it is the online wallet address you can use to.
Try to look for bitcoin address first at coinbase temporary and look for some wallet with no third person included for your transactions. Anyway since you are newbie you can use it.

It is your wallet addres where you store your coins and transact to and from there. It is just like your email or phone number where your messages are stored and send and received.

A bitcoin address is the only thing that can identify your wallet, without your bitcoin address, nobody would be able to send bitcoins to your wallet, because you can not send btc to an email adress, or to a nickname.
This is why bitcoin adresses are so important when you are talking about cryptocurrencies, and of course that with every altcoin the adresses changes too, ethereum addy's tends to start with a "0" at the beggining, and monero with a "5"

Bitcoin address is like your ATM account number where people who wanted to give you bitcoin will just send you by your bitcoin address.

First of all you should research about bitcoin, you knew to Bitcointalk forum but you just ask "what is bitcoin address" although you can quite find out it on google
This is the answer which i found out on google
what is bitcoin address?
A Bitcoin address is a single-use token. Like e-mail addresses, you can send bitcoins to a person by sending bitcoins to one of their addresses. However, unlike e-mail addresses, people have many different Bitcoin addresses and a unique address should be used for each transaction

Can my btc address disappear after it gets to 0 balance>?

most wallets hide your addresses when they are used and now have 0 balance to discourage address reuse [1] but these addresses (the keys) will always belong to you and be a part of your wallet. depending on what kind of wallet you use, there is always a way to get those keys out. and if the balances change from 0 they will reappear in your wallet.

No, it'll still be in your wallet addresses. But your wallet will probably hide an empty/used address from view. The default wallet procedure is to not reuse addresses.

Bitcoin address is actually a wallet online, with online wallet you can perform various types of transactions such as receiving payment, sell / buy or transfer to other users.

Well, that's completely wrong as an answer.

Frankly, the answer from a live forum with a mix of people has got to be superior because it's self correcting. A random Google search is not self correcting. By posting your Google result here I correct it. (Similarly, Wikipedia is self correcting)

A bitcoin address is not a single-use token, as can be easily seen by charities and other organizations that accept bitcoin via a posted receive address. Similarly, when you put an address in your sig it isn't single use.

A "bitcoin address" might be either a public key or a private key.

It is where payments of your services will be sent.  Like any address, like email, this goes all your electronic mails.  Bitcoins wallet address is where monetary payment of your services will be sent.  So bitcoin wallet address is very much important.
