How to Transfer some Satoshis from Coinbase to my bluewallet(LN)?

How would that happen as I wouldn’t be able to open a channel as I have no funds.
What are some trustless inbound capacity solutions?
Check out some of the layer 3 apps that are running on top of lightning:

– [Juggernaut](https://www.getjuggernaut.com/). Similar to sphinx. All using sats.
– [impervious](https://www.impervious.ai/). P2P everything with payments built-in. All based on lightning.
