<p>The bitcoin's wallet is made up of two keys, a public key and a private one. The general title of the wallet, where you can receive money from others, is exactly the opposite: it allows you to send your coins to others.
And of course your key, no one should know, so you do not steal easily, do not disclose this number to anyone.

<p>Is it is true that a paper wallet has only one address and can only have one address maximum?</p>

<p>I want to be 100% sure when I check my balance on blockchain.info that the money is there. If someone were to take my private key, could they generate a new address and transfer money without me seeing it (since I only check the address WRITTEN on the paper wallet)?</p>

Is it is true that a paper wallet has only one address and can only have one address maximum?

I want to be 100% sure when I check my balance on blockchain.info that the money is there. If someone were to take my private key, could they generate a new address and transfer money without me seeing it (since I only check the address WRITTEN on the paper wallet)?

Yes, from 1 private key you can calculate exactly 1 public key, and from 1 public key you can calculate exactly 1 address.

But suppose the attacker could generate another address, addresses are only for receiving, so they could not send it "from" the address they generate.

To sign a bitcoin transaction, the private key is used directly, so there is no way you would not see it (on blockchain.info for example).

Also, if it were possible to generate a different "sending address", there would be no traceability or value in the bitcoin ledger and keeping track of the unspent outputs would be impossible.
