Myetherwallet is usually used by bounty hunters to serve as their wallet service when following a bounty campaign (Read:  What is Bounty Campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3769471.0) ) which they will get paid ethereum tokens if the bounty they are working on uses the base ethereum

Purpose

MyEtherWallet is not an account. It is just an interface to allow newbies to use Ethereum without syncing with the Ethereum blockchain and installing a wallet. Plus the fact that the disclaimer says that it is not an online account.

Serious gratitude for sharing this. MEW is definitely one of the most important tools available that everyone should lear, but sadly I've notice many people too frustrated by it to truly be decentralized.
