MEW - dressed up bitcoin foundation. Despite what is wrote certain entities are aiming to control Monero at the top like puppetmasters.
Eschew this if you know what is best for the coin.
MEW is not part of the Monero core team, and we are not part of MEW. They have zero control over the decisions the Monero core team make, and no influence on us. They are always welcome to make suggestions (as anyone can) and we appreciate the financial support, but that is where the line starts and ends.
