+### ENV VARS
+BTCLI accepts a few environment variables that can alter how it works:
+ - USE_TORCH (default 0): If set to 1, will use torch instead of numpy
+ - DISK_CACHE (default 0, also settable in config): If set to 1 (or set in config), will use disk caching for various safe-cachable substrate
+calls (such as block number to block hash mapping), which can speed up subsequent calls.
+ - BTCLI_CONFIG_PATH (default `~/.bittensor/config.yml`): This will set the config file location, creating if it does not exist.
