From what article is it? (I mean, the quoted part of your previous post)
Google search with the quote only returns with article for "Trading" and it may be talking about cryptocurrency in general, not Bitcoin specifically.

Read these instead of random internet articles:

The article is https://www.welivesecurity.com/la-es/2018/06/22/mineria-criptomonedas-respuesta-tres-preguntas-frecuentes/

At the end of question 1 "Mining cryptocurrencies: what does it mean?" there was talk about BTC

The article is outdated, and in Spanish, but it caught my attention that it says "new BTC" it is an error.

Now I confirm that it is an error of whoever wrote it, thanks for the clarifications, and sorry about my English

Hello all
Is it a mistake to say that BTC mining generates new coins? Would it be more correct to say that new coins come into circulation, because the total was already defined previously and they were in reserve? And if so, where is that reserve?
It is fine to say that.
New coins aren't pre-generated or reserved, Bitcoin isn't like tokens with defined total amount.

Bitcoin's 21million supply isn't because there's already 21m bitcoins in reserve (it's not a hard-cap either).
But it's based from the calculated "block rewards" from the first block, to successive "halving" until it reach 0.

Thank you very much, doubt clarified

Is that I read that:
"The payment is made with coins that are in reserve and at that time they enter into circulation, this is why it is erroneously believed that cryptocurrency mining consists of generating new coins. The coins are already previously defined, however, through mining it is possible to get new coins into circulation"
And it caused me doubt because I also thought it was just a matter of semantics, unimportant, but now I don't know if technically it is a mistake to say "new BTC", or it was an eccentricity of the document I read

Hola, tengo algunas dudas sobre Electrum Wallet que no he podido aclarar, sería genial si aquí las pudiera resolver, muchas gracias de antemano y pido disculpas si son muy tontas. Saludos a tod@s
Quiero descargar la electrum wallet para mi PC pero con el objetivo de crear una dirección, guardar la llave privada, borrar la app de la PC y dejarla como cold wallet para poner algunos ahorros.
1) ¿Esto lo puedo hacer sin que implique algún problema?
2) ¿Una vez creadas las direcciones puedo desinstalar la aplicación de la PC y borrar toda info que tenga que ver con ello, sin tener problemas luego con las direcciones, o sea, puedo seguir usando la dirección pública para enviarme satoshis?
3) ¿En el momento en que yo desee sacar fondos de esa wallet, voy a necesitar volver a instalar la electrum wallet en la PC o con las palabras ya puedo recuperar la cuenta en otro tipo de wallet o cuáles son las opciones?
4) ¿Voy a necesitar estar pendiente de actualizaciones del software de electrum wallet o aunque pasen algunos años, voy a poder recuperar mi wallet sin problemas de compatibilidad u otros?
Gracias.
