Do you think that one day you could open Bitcoin wallet in your bank, along with your.ordinary bank account? And will banks have their own wallets?

I don't think this can ever happen. bitcoin is good as long as it is decentralized. also bitcoin is designed this way to help you not need banks and do everything yourself so why would anyone want to go back to using banks is beyond me!

but then again I see services like coinbase which are technically a bank!

Or maybe they already have? There are some rumors that some banks are preparing themselfes to addopt the Bitcoin and give it to their clients as a new service?

where are those rumors?
what I have heard so far is that banks want to adopt "blockchain" not bitcoin.

You have to realize some people are incompetent to handle their own money.

I agree that banks are not needed to handle our bitcoin wallets. Since bitcoin as mentioned is designed in a decentralized form so there will be no need to have a prime authority over it. For me, my bitcoin wallet is already my own bank since I'm using it in safekeeping my bitcoins. Yet we have to admit that there are people who are not that skillful in managing their money, so maybe a bitcoin wallet in a bank could be practical thing for them.
