I started a new wallet Electrum. He generated me a bunch of addresses. I do not see any of these addresses in blockchain.com.

Here is an example:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qrfnm3lple85fh4eltk9hys6t37x67q7rmr8xnn

Help me please!

Help me please!
It's segwit so you won't be able to see them in regular blockchain explorer. Get a standard/legacy wallet. the address will starts with 1***********

You can see it here: https://chain.so/address/BTC/bc1qrfnm3lple85fh4eltk9hys6t37x67q7rmr8xnn

Those are bech32 (native Segwit) addresses. They are not supported by the block explorer you are trying to use (Blockchain.info);

Either use a different explorer that supports it (e.g blockchair.com) or create a wallet with nested Segwit addresses (starting with a 3 and are supported everywhere).
Here is a tutorial for that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3456040.msg36735893#msg36735893

Blockchain.com doesn't track native segwit addresses. Electrum either generates Native Segwit (one that starts with bc1) and Legacy Addresses (starts with 1). Try other explorers like blockchair.com, blockstream.info

[1] https://blockchair.com/search?q=bc1qrfnm3lple85fh4eltk9hys6t37x67q7rmr8xnn
[2] https://blockstream.info/address/bc1qrfnm3lple85fh4eltk9hys6t37x67q7rmr8xnn

P.S You seem to have a balance of 0.14672466 BTC. That's great  Wink
