Good question! In order to receive a Lightning payment in a sovereign way, you do need to have some inbound liquidity. There are a few ways to do this: 1. Open a Lightning channel with someone else who has outbound liquidity. This will allow you to receive payments from that person and anyone they are connected to in the network. 2. Use a service or platform that allows you to purchase inbound liquidity. These services will typically charge a fee, but they can be helpful if you don't have the Bitcoin or the desire to open your own channels. 3. Participate in the Lightning Network community and find someone who is willing to open a channel with you. This may take some effort, but it can be a good way to build connections and increase your inbound liquidity. Hope that helps!
