First, go to www.bscscan.com and copy and paste this contract address for Safemoon:
0x8076C74C5e3F5852037F31Ff0093Eeb8c8ADd8D3
Then, from that platform, you have a wealth of information and can actually see every transaction.
The most informative thing to do is click on the contract creator's address, which is the following:
0xc95063d946242f26074a76c8a2e94c9d735dfc78
You will notice that almost every transaction of the contract creator is an "out" transaction. Feel free to click on the various hash transactions and you'll see some very large amounts of money (nice 6 figure amounts) being pulled out by the creator via pancakeswap.
That's really all you need to know as to why the price isn't going up because all the profits are being drained through out transactions by the creator. It's not really the wild, wild west of crypto.
