Yes, I believe they are transferrable.

Thanx for reply. people are selling accounts with steem power. can you tell me how safe this would be if i buy accounts from others?is there any chance hack those account if i changer the email password?

The problem is: How they can completely transfer the account? it's linked to something, like email, fb, reddit, so in that case and opinion, who sells the account then he claims it back as hacked account and double profit. So no, imo, they can't. It's discouraged.

thanx man, much appreciated your reply.i understand now and never buy any account from any one unless i got all possible access for the steemit account.

Great point, but it probably won't discourage people from doing it anyway :)
